ble, and the same can be reciprocated from the end 21, by furthercompressing the spring 11 to close the valve (3, depending upon thedegree which is required in the carbureter.

Should the Wire 11, become permanently set, it will be merely necessaryfor an operator to straighten out the curve 23 of the end 22, detach thesame from the lever C and expand the spring 11 to the degree necessary.

Th lever C is maintained in open position by means of the stop 30abutting the post 31, rigidly mounted upon the carbureter A as inordinary construction. The open position of the throttle valve isdetermined by the projection 32 and in such alinement that uponoperation of the lever C, th said projection 32 will abut the post 31 todefine the open position of the throttle (not shown).

From the foregoing, it can be seen that an accessory for use upon Fordcarbureters has been provided, which will do away with the breakage andtroublesome features new found in the spring found upon saidcarbureters. No, alteration will be necessary in the carbureterstructure, the same can be easily attached thereto as hereinbeforedescribed.

It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown anddescribed, is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and thatvarious changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be made,Without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of thesubjoined claims.

I claim:

1. In a throttle attachment for carbureters, the combination, with acarbureter includin a choker valve operating lever, of a brac st fordetachable connection to said carbureter, and an expansion springcarried by said bracket and normally maintaining said lever to open thechoker valve.

2. As an article of manufacture, a bracket structure including a pieceof sheet metal provided with a pair of spaced arms, and a springdetachably connected to said arms.

3. In a throttle attachment for carbureters, the combination, with acarbureter including a choker valve operating lever, and an operatingrod attached thereto, of a bracket detachably connected to saidcarbureter, and loosely receiving said operating rod, and an expansionspring disposed about said operating rod and engaging said operatinglever and bracket to normally maintain said operating lever in forwardposition to hold the choker valve open.

a. In a throttle attachment for carbureters, the combination with acarburetor including a lever for operating the choke throttle valvethereof, an operating rod for said lever, and a flange having anattaching bolt thereon, of a bracket for detachably mounting upon saidflange by said attaching bolt, said bracket having an aperture tnereinfor operatively receiving said operating wire, and depending arms lyingparallel with the main body of said bracket, and an expansion springdisposed about said operating rod and having a convolution thereofinserted intermediate said arms and main body portion of the bracket,said spring normally held under pressure intermediate said bracketstructure and an end of said valve operating lever for maintaining saidthrottle lever in forward position for maintaining tl e throttle open.

5. As an article of manufacture, a bracket comprising a piece of sheetmetal provided with a relatively large aperture in one end, ant arelatively small aperture in the other, said bracket having a pair ofarms upon the end adjacent said small aperture and bent to lie parallelwith the main portion of said bracket and upon each side of saidrelatively small aperture.

6. As a carbureter accessory, a bracket comprising a piece of sheetmetal. provided with a relatively large aperture in one end, and arelatively small aperture in the other, said bracket having a pair ofarms upon the end adjacent said small aperture and bent to ie parallelwith the main portion of said i; *acket and upon each side of saidrelatively small aperture; and a spring mounted upon said bracket havinga portion thereof dc tachably gripped intermediate said arms and saidmain body portion of the bracket. for securely connecting said spring tosaid bracket.
